Core Tip Metastasis-associated colon cancer 1 (MACC1) is strongly upregulated in pancreatic cancer (PC) and shows consistent alterations across multiomics datasets. In this study, we combined pan-cancer bioinformatic profiling with functional experiments to clarify its role in PC. Silencing MACC1 suppressed proliferation, migration, invasion, and increased apoptosis, while overexpression produced the opposite effects. We also confirmed that MACC1 activates both p53 and Notch signaling. These findings show that MACC1 is not only a useful diagnostic and prognostic marker but also a potential therapeutic target in PC.
